These two items are needlework and cotton fabrics among high-priced commodities.
Since the original price was not high, although the price this time is three times higher than before, everyone can still accept it.
So everyone agreed.
Naturally, the purchasing task had to be completed by Li Xu.
Soon, everyone finished dinner.
Sun Xiu went back to the house and found some money and handed it to Li Xu, "Buy five sets of bed sheets and ten pillowcases. The money will be paid by the family."
Li Xu nodded, put the money in his pocket, chatted with everyone for a while, and then stood up and walked out.
When he arrived at Du Hong's house, Li Xu told the story again.
The reactions of the Du family members were much more intense.
They want to buy everything.
The key is that they can afford...
Du Ming waved his hand, his expression extremely excited. "Buy it. We must buy it this time. First, let's buy two bicycles for us to ride to work, and then buy Xiaohong a watch as a dowry."
Hearing that there was no place for him, Du Feng quickly said, "Dad, what about me?"
"Go away, you're not getting married." Du Ming glanced at him, thought for a moment, and then continued, "When your mother and I are gone one day, one of our two bicycles will be yours. Wouldn't that satisfy you?"
Li Xu looked at him in amazement.
Good job.
You two are only in your early forties now.
Without saying too much, at least I can live another twenty years.
Will the car still be rideable by then?
How do you satisfy him?
Du Feng also thought of this possibility.
His face turned purple. "Dad, if you don't want to give it to me, just tell me. Will the car still be usable after you leave?"
At this moment, Yang Li slapped Du Ming and said unhappily, "Can you speak? The Lunar New Year isn't over yet. Don't you think it's unlucky to say that?"
Then she turned her head, her expression becoming kind, "Xiao Feng, don't worry, Mom will be able to retire in less than ten years, and then I'll give you my car."
The retirement system currently in place is similar to that of later generations.
Men retire at 60, female workers retire at 50, and female staff retire at 55.
Yang Li is a worker, so she can retire when she turns 50, which is less than ten years away.
Du Feng could accept this time.
So he nodded in agreement.
Unexpectedly, Du Sen also joined in the fun and asked, "Mom, what about me? Will I ride Dad's bike then?"
"That's right, one for each of you two brothers. It's fair and reasonable." Yang Li said against her conscience.
But there's nothing I can do.
Du Feng will be the one who will take care of them in their old age in the future, so naturally they have to be more partial to him.
Seeing that Du Sen was about to speak, Yang Li interrupted him, "Just worry about yourself. Tomorrow will be March. If your eldest brother comes back, the earliest he can be home is March 3rd. That's only a few days away. What about your marriage?"
Du Sen has been on many blind dates these days, but he was never satisfied with any of them.
He met the last girl yesterday, but still didn't like her.
When we think about this, we become very worried.
This is especially true for Duson.
Hearing this, he said dejectedly, "I plan to go find the girl I had my first blind date with tomorrow."
He had said before that if he didn’t find anyone he liked, he would get engaged to the girl he met on his first blind date.
He felt that he had to keep his word.
Everyone in the room looked at him speechlessly.
I don't know where he gets his confidence from.
Aren’t you afraid of being kicked out?
After a moment of silence, Yang Li said helplessly, "I have only one condition. If the girl's family disagrees or doesn't let you in, you can't cause any trouble, or it will be too late to deal with it."
She was afraid that Du Sen would get angry and do something wrong, which would be the end of her.
So remind him.
"I understand." Du Sen responded.
At this time, Li Xu smiled and said, "Uncle Du, I told you this because I wanted to tell you that except for needlework and cotton fabrics, don't buy anything else for the time being."
Today I am here to give them a reminder.
I’m just afraid that they will buy the things back directly after hearing the news.
Apart from anything else, the three items that the Du family plans to purchase will cost about 1,800 yuan.
This is not a small amount.
It’s better to wait for a few months. The money will be enough to buy at least five items.
Besides, these are not necessities of life, so why rush and become a sucker?
He had even reminded people like Liu Gang and Uncle Xu, who had strong financial resources, once.
As for whether they listen or not, that’s none of my business.
Du Ming and others were confused and didn't understand what he meant.
Then Li Xu expressed his judgment.
After listening, Yang Li hesitated and asked, "Xiao Xu, how sure are you of your own judgment?"
"100% sure."
Du Ming and the others looked at each other and all said they would wait for a while before buying.
Everyone chatted for a while before Li Xu said goodbye and left.
The next day at noon.
Li Xu had just finished his meal when he saw Xiao Jianping and Su Weidong coming to him.
Li Xu jumped out of the car and said, "Is it urgent? If not, wait until I finish shopping and come back."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jianping immediately became happy, "That's really a coincidence, we just wanted to find you to buy something."
Li Xu looked at him with a strange expression, "Are you going to buy a watch?"
Xiao Jianping was stunned at first, then asked in disbelief, "How did you know?"
"Is that even a question? Your mom's at work up front, does she need you to buy anything? Unless you're buying something for yourself. If I remember correctly, your favorite thing is watches. Apart from this, I really can't imagine what else you'd buy."
After finishing speaking, Li Xu said, "Let's talk while we walk."
Su Weidong quickly walked up to Li Xu, gave him a thumbs-up, and said with admiration, "Old Xiao said before that you have the best brain among the three of us. I didn't believe it at first, but now I do."
"What's the use?" Li Xu waved his hand. "You're not going to buy a watch, are you?"
The three of them have only been working for a little over a year, and their combined salaries are only enough to buy half a watch.
So the money Xiao Jianping used to buy the watch must have been sponsored by his parents.
There is no other way, they still rely on this son to take care of them in their old age and see them to the end of their lives.
Besides, their family is well-off, so a watch is nothing to them.
But Su Weidong's family is different.
He has an older brother, so it would never be his turn to have this happen.
That's why Li Xu asked this.
Su Weidong nodded. "I can't afford that thing. I'm just accompanying him. By the way, what do you want to buy?"
"I'll buy sheets and pillowcases for the house." Then Li Xu reached out and patted his shoulders twice. "You can't afford a watch now, but maybe you can after a while."
Su Weidong and the other two were stunned. "What do you mean?"
“It means the price might drop.”
"No way? Tickets are no longer required, how could the price be lowered?" Xiao Jianping's face was full of astonishment.
Li Xu smiled and said, "Think carefully about why this situation of not asking for tickets occurred."
